MA9 skunkings

I've hit picnic point and meadowdale about 4-5 times in the past 2 weeks and only got one pink in the first 5 min of the first day. I've hit them at low tide and high tide but have had no luck and no strikes other than some cutts. Anybody else had the same bad luck? Where are all the fish??

forget the salt for now, hit the S rivers, your only within 1 hr of them. mostly boaters are getting them in the salt, slow and low in rivers. have fun.

Whaaat? Humpy run may have reached its peak, but there are BIG COHO moving in right now. That's a great reason to keep fishing the beaches! Also, the rain should make the rivers something other than slow and low this week. Plenty of options in the salt or rivers (and there's more than "S" rivers nearby) for fly guys!

I managed a big pink yesterday, and saw a fair number of fishing moving.

Also saw a huge king jump right out in front of me, which was very cool. It's so funny to be seeing little 4 and 5 pound pinks jumping. Then you see a swirl and think it's another pink until a double digit bronzed up chinook clears the water. I think I saw a glimmer in its eye that was saying, "Ha ha douchebag, you wish."

Good amount of coho around this weekend. Looks like the pink parade is slowing down some in MA 9. I saw a lot less jumpers this weekend the last.

With Labor Day over and heavy rain forecast for Thursday, I hope the beach crowds thin out as more folks head to the rivers or just give up on Beach Humpy Quest till 2015.
Coho prime time is upon us.

I saw a ridiculous amount of pinks about 300 to 500 yards off of Meadowdale Beach park yesterday afternoon - the most I've seen so far this season. Unfortunately, no jumpers within casting distance.I would imagine humpy hollow will be off the charts the next few days.

Also surprisingly, the fish seemed mostly split between heading north or south (maybe a slight advantage to northbound).

There were only 2-3 boats passing through the area. I'm now lobbying my wife for a kayak purchase.

A ton of pinks were moving through Mutiny Bay Saturday and Sunday. Not sure about yesterday, but did see a few jumpers when we were riding the ferry back to America (as the whidbey islanders like to call the mainland). The fish only seemed to come within beach distance an hour before till an hour after high tide.

I thought the same after all day on the water Sunday but my friend said yesterday had crazy numbers of fish at Bush Pt. More than any of his previous trips.

On Sunday, my catch was a lot of bucks showing their first signs of spawning.
